The magic damage will only be amplified on the main target.

if you don't know all the heroes yet learn what their skills do
work on mechanics like lasthitting and positioning
based on your dotabuff you need to work on lasthitting/farming in general

Bump!

1) yes game ID is all you need to share replay (as long as valve's servers haven't deleted the replay file after the 2 weeks yet)
2) 2.5k is pretty normal for someone who's just started playing.
3) the one thing you need to do is to keep playing. it's always hard to give specific advice if you share a replay of you winning. in terms of replays, you probably want to pick a game where it was very close but you lost. theres a lot of things you can do to become a better player in general, e.g. reading up on all the intricacies of the game (go search for all of yango's posts in this thread), practicing laning, playing with higher level friends. if you have more specific questions / a better replay to share, that would also help.

How do I keep my morale up when I know the sniper in the offlane is 0-10 and won't leave the lane/go stack upon suggestion? I know games can be lost like this but I feel even if I pick heroes that can solo-snowball with the jungle this forces a loss.

People get really cocky when they're ahead, abuse this. Even if you got a feeder on the team games tend to be winnable.

You can't win every game.
You must gather your party before venturing forth.

there are 2 things going on here.

1) your ability to win after such a feed. ignoring the situation that caused the feeding, its very difficult to come back but as a previous post said..people get cocky. take a couple really good team fights and who knows what happens!

2) your actual morale. you gotta accept that youre playing a game on a team with strangers, whom you have no control over. you're gonna lose, and a lot of times its gonna feel like its your fault. instead of saying "fuck sniper, that feeder!" take a look at what you could have done better or what you CAN do better in order to win the game. this goes a long way with making yourself a better player. you can't win em all, but if you feel like you did the best job you could, did YOU really lose? nope, just the team and that feeder

if I have an item that says navi on it, and it has a gem on it that tracks how many navi games ive watched, can I remove that gem? and if I do, will the big navi logo go away?

Yes you can remove the gem.

And no the logo won't go away

Is your profile set to share? It defaults to not sharing so if you haven't changed it then dotabuff won't be able to pull data.

There is no "let's think happy thoughts and be done with it" solution. Games are won, games are lost. Everyone loses, everyone gets a feeder once in a while, and worse, there are games when you yourself will feed, due to chains of mistakes or incredibly bad luck.

Take a small pause, play a funny song, something that always cheers you up, get a glass of water, make fun of how stupid the game was.

If you're thinking of ingame, joke about what happened. "Holy fuck did this guy get demolished. Lol!" "OMG we just got raped! EE-Sama have mercy!". Don't feel the need to go and blame the other guy except if you can give him advice on how to play better (and then give him the advice without expecting even a "thank you" because this is the dota community we know and love).

Problem is, mostly, if you're depressed/angry at your game, you will have trouble coming up with jokes/happy thoughts. So it'll be hard.

If all else fails, remember that you'll die one day, and how meaningless this game is compared to existential dread. If only because such a thought is so out of touch with what happens ingame that you'll be "What the hell did I just think about?". Distraction is, as always, a good tactic.

If even this fails, you are doomed to be unhappy for the rest of your dota life

I'm learning invoker now. One thing im wondering is how / what should i do if i want to solo kill someone? I know I should initiate the 1v1 with cold snap, but what should i have lined up after that and what should i be ready to invoke next?

Another question, are you allowed to use macros in dota 2?

depends on your invoker build.
quas wex combos usually go down like tornado +emp into cold snap.
early game qw might kill someone buy trading hits with cold snap and then throwing a tornado when he flees
exort invokers have a lot more freedom in their skill choices tho. other than the obvious random sunstrike kills, you can go dual forge spirit into cold snap and sunstrike. if the game is early enough you can just use cold snap and sunstrike only. theres the euls sunstrike into meteor dfb combo as well. in later lvls you can use tornado instead of euls to initiate too
dont forget skills like icewall and alacrity are actually very good too
invoker has so many ways to kill someone, its why hes so popular and so good. the only thing that matters is what lvl u are so you can use your skills accordingly

and macros arent illegal in pubs, cause whos gonna know lol
i dont think anyones tried using them in a pro game but honestly you dont even need them

Another question, I was watching dendie's stream and he had daggon lvl 1 and he added 2x daggon recipe to his quick buy list. I know that shift-clicking the recipe will add it to the list, but when I shift click something else it just re-writes my quick by list to only that one item. (he had 2x of the same recipe in his quickbuy at the same time). How do you do that?
